METHODOLOGY:
This bill prohibits the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation including in the 10
year transportation improvement plan any ramp toll plazas or open road tolls in the town of
Merrimack unless tolls are placed in other locations on the F.E. Everett Turnpike that have
more traffic. Without knowing specific tolling locations, the Department is unable to estimate
changes in traffic volumes and revenue along the F.E Everett Turnpike and therefore cannot
estimate the fiscal impact of this bill.
